How to use NX keyboard shortcuts
If you want to switch back from a fullscreen session to your native OS desktop, you can click on the 'magic pixel' on the upper right edge of your screen.

Keystrokes available in NX 3.x

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Esc to get rid of a not responding session

Ctrl + Alt + T to terminate a session

Ctrl + Alt + F to switch to fullscreen/windowed (Note: the fullscreen toggle feature will be available on Windows starting with NX 4.0.0)

Ctrl + Alt + M to minimize or maximize fullscreen window

Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys to viewport navigation

Ctrl + Alt + keypad arrow keys to viewport navigation (Note: this action
is performed also by keeping Ctrl + Alt pressed and dragging the
content of the main window by the pointer)

Ctrl + Alt + R to switch "auto-resize/viewport" mode. The agent starts
in auto-resize mode, so users can resize the desktop simply by resizing
the main window. In viewport mode, resizing the main window doesn't
make the desktop resize itself, but users can navigate the desktop by
moving the viewport (Note: the auto-resize feature will be available on
Windows starting with NX 4.0.0)

Ctrl + Alt + E to toggle the lazy encoding

Ctrl + Alt + J to force a drawable's synchronization, in order to attempt

or terminate a session

keys
